The Carpenter's Union episodes

  • The Curse of Coniah Joshua 17: 1-6
    Territories continue to be distributed. And as in prior teachings we will come across another intriguing sub-story.
    We left off with Manassah getting their allotment.
    And again we come across, yet, another little Easter egg.
    The daughters of Zelophehad.
    Many of us are familiar with the term 'precedent' with respect to laws. Laws examined and affirmed in courts of law.
    Well, we will learn about a little law (a little clause) inserted into the overarching laws that pertain to inheritance rights.
    Let's dive into it shall we

  • Easter Egg Hunting. Joshua 15 and 16
    So the land distribution continues.
    But as you will soon see that inserted into these verses (which are a litany of verses filled with real estate language) will be little side stories that are running parallel to the bigger story of land allotment.
    These side stories are filled with insight and perspective. And, true to form, add continued value with respect to the consistent portrayal of typology regarding the Spirit filled life.
    So let's get into today's discussion shall we?

  • The Secret to Staying Young. Joshua 14
    When we bought our new home and property we walked all over our plot of land.
    For any of you who own property, well, I am sure you did the same thing. Afterall, who doesn't walk their land to see their own boundaries
    It's so exciting... it was for us. But for anyone else, they could care less.
    Well these sections of scripture may seem tedious to us to read. But
    If you were in those tribes you would surely want to know what the boundries were, what the inheritance was and what the plan was.
    As we continue in Joshua chpt 14, we will continue to touch on these land distributions...These land allotments
    . And learn a little more about Caleb.

  • Clearing out the Pockets of Resistance Joshua 12 and 13
    We have covered a lot in Joshua. Chapters 1 through 11. We have thoroughly established the basis of understanding that events in Joshua are meant to be examples to Christian living. Let'recap some of the key types/examples.
    Egypt is a type of the world.
    The Red Sea is a type of the baptism unto salvation
    . The
    Jordan River is a type of the baptism in the Holy Spirit. Joshua is a type of Jesus
    . The
    Promised Land is a type of the abundant Spirit filled life
    in Christ.
    Now there is peace
    So what's next?
    Well they must address the pockets of resistance. And though Jesus has given us His victory we need to go and take care of those pockets of carnal resistance that still plagues us.

  • Administration, a servant or master. Joshua 11: 7 - 23
    For the Spirit filled follower of Christ, we are more successful when following a plan, a strategy. Employing skills of administration.
    Administrative skills are a great servant but can be a miserable master
    How do you know where you stand with respect to administration? Well, where to you go first in the morning? To the "planner" on your cell phone or THE PLANNER in heaven. If you start your day on yours knees, then enemy cannot bring you to your knees.
    Admininistration and organization. Effective skills and strategies used by Joshua as he battled his enemies. Clearly he was not a "go with the flow" kind of guy. No, Joshua always seeked to have a plan. And not his plan but a plan given to him from above.
    So let's continue the conversation as we continue to study Joshua chapter 11, shall we?
    14 min
  • How to hinder our enemy. Joshua 11: 1-5
    Our enemies are persistent and relentless.
    They never cease from trying new tactics to intimidate and destroy us.
    As we continue in chapter 11 of Joshua, we will see two effective mechanisms of attack that the enemies of Joshua will use against him.
    Horses and chariots.
    So you are probably wondering by now, "what types or examples do these two items represent to the life of a Jesus follower?"
    Well, let's proceed further into the book of Joshua and find out, shall we?

  • Wherever you set your foot. Joshua 10: 16 - 43

    Many of us have so much work to do. So much to accomplish, but, there is not enough time in the day to address. I have heard it stated that no amount of money could buy you an extra hour in a day. And this stresses people out.

    But for the Spirit filled Christian, we are convinced that the Lord orders our steps. That He never gives us more than what we can handle.

    It is He that elongates time for us to accomplish the tasks that are before us. Probably not by slowing the rotation of the earth, but, by freeing our time from worthless tasks to address that which needs our attention the MOST and for TODAY

    As we gain those daily victories, the Lord wants us to know that "we can do ALL things through Christ who strengthens us"…Phil 4:13

    And as we continue in Joshua 10 we will see how Joshua will drive this very point home to his commanders and the people of Israel.

  • A Long Day - Joshua 10:1-15

    We have learned that Satan, our enemy has many ways to come after us.

    The enemy attack methods:

    1. Intimidation
    2. Underestimation
    3. Direct attack on us
    4. Deceive us leading to compromise

      5. In todays episode we will see, yet another way he tries to attack us.   And that is through someone we care about (someone allied with us).

      What will be Joshua's response? How should you react as well

      15 min
    5. The Truth about Truth. Joshua 9:16-27
      When I was a young boy, I discovered something about my parents. No matter what I said or did (that was sneaky), my parents always found out.
      Perhaps many of you can attest to similar experiences.
      Haha, I always thought it was a curse.
      Until I became a father myself.
      My wife and I always seem to find out what is happening with our kids. Sometimes it would appear to be complete happenstance. Then again, I am convinced that the Lord loves THEM too much to let them get away with behavior that is not glorifying of Him (or pleasing to their parents}
      One thing is true about TRUTH. The Truth always comes to the surface
      Speaking about truth coming to the surface, the Gibeonites are about to be caught for lying. Join us in learning more about what happens to these liars...the Gibeonites.

    6. How to detect a counterfeit. Joshua 9:1-15
      The Israelis have taken Jericho. They have taken AI. The. They conducted an important Bible study and the plot thickens. And now it appear that the other City states are beginning to make make alliances in an effort to stop the children of Isreal
      Your know, when we set out to serve the Lord, the enemy is furious about our decision. Scared for sure, but not happy. That is when he begins his attack. He starts disrupting our lives a little here and a little there. Then, if that does work, he turns up the heat and gangs up on us, trying to disrupt our lives across many aspects of our lives.
      And when that fails???? He resorts to another tactic that is very effective.
      So let's see how as we get into Joshua chapter 9.
